This is a copy of the tool carrier Roy uses in the intro to “The Woodwrights Shop”. He has a chapter on building this tote in his book “The Woodwright’s Apprentice”. Roy used rabbited butt joints but I thought I could do this on my box joint jig. Turned out to be much more involved than I thought. Two of the pictures show detail of the joints and the mortised in handle. The last photo shows the angled spacer blocks needed to get the table saw set up for cutting the joints at the correct angles. Already my sister wants one for her birthday.

Nice clear wood. Very tight joints. You can beat it up and it will still last a lifetime.

Hi Jim – I wanted to communicate with you about the details you posted for the construction of this box. This is the only way I’ve found to reach you (hopefully).
